Honorable Mention

Inside the Sheraton Four Points LAX hotel. Yes, this is a hotel bar, but not like any hotel bar you've been to before. In spring and summer there is a second, poolside bar with another 5 taps, dedicated to local beers.

Neighborhood place just off of downtown El Segundo. Only three or four of the taps have interesting beers but they rotate frequently and always something good. When you walk in the door it is like a time warp back to the 1950s. Cash only (though there is an ATM on site).
